Problems solved by technology

However, in a conventional information processing device, such as the information processing device described above, there has been a problem such that, when the area code is not attached to the FAX number of the other device obtained from the external information processing device, and when a line connection to a destination of the facsimile transmission is not established without the area code, a user may be required to perform complicated tasks of finding the area code and inputting the area code.

Abstract

An information processing system includes information processing devices and an accumulation device. Each information processing device includes a facsimile number acquisition unit that acquires a facsimile number registered in another information processing device; a number requesting unit that requests the accumulation device for a number corresponding to the facsimile number, the number including at least one of an area code, a country code, and an identification number of a telephone company, when the facsimile number does not include the number; and a facsimile transmission unit that attaches the number to the facsimile number and performs a facsimile transmission. The accumulation device includes a number return unit that returns a number corresponding to a facsimile number, the number including at least one of an area code, a country code, and an identification number of a telephone company, when the number is requested from one of the information processing devices.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention An aspect of this disclosure relates to a facsimile device, a printer, a scanner, a copier, and a multifunction peripheral; an information processing system including an information processing device, such as a personal computer; the information processing device that is included in the information processing system; an information processing method in the information processing device; and a program which causes a computer, the computer controlling an information processing device, to realize a required function.[0002]2. Description of the Related Art[0003]Information processing devices including a facsimile device, a printer, a scanner, a copier, a multifunction peripheral (these are also referred to as “image formation apparatuses”), and a personal computer may be used in such a manner that a FAX number of an another device is obtained from an external information processing device and a facsimile transmission with the ot...
